8. Specific Project AM0020 – “Monitoring methodology for water pumping efficiency improvements” http://cdm.unfccc.int

9. APPLICABILITY This methodology is applicable to project activities that seek: • reduce GHG emissions by explicitly reducing the amount of energy required to deliver a unit of water to end-users in municipal water utilities • Improve energy efficiency in the overall water pumping • include reducing technical losses and leaks • the energy efficiency of the pumping scheme, which consume electricity from the electricity grid, where: • The efficiency (water and energy) of existing schemes is being improved or • A new scheme is being developed to completely replace the old scheme which will no longer be used. This methodology will apply to the new scheme only up to the measured delivery capacity (annual amount of delivered water) of the old scheme: • The methodology is NOT applicable to project activities cases where entirely new schemes are built to augment existing capacity. This will ensure that only emissions reductions up to the existing capacity of the system will be considered. • The baseline methodology shall be used in conjunction with the approved monitoring methodology AM0020 (“Monitoring methodology for water pumping efficiency improvements”)

10. PROJECT ACTIVITY Efficiency improvement in water pumping using electricity from the grid. • Applies in current GWCL case

11. PROJECT BOUNDARY The project developer will need to clearly define the boundary of the system in question. This could be the boundary of an entire municipal water system, or a major pumping station. Defining the boundaries of the system in question allows the project implementers to develop an adequate metering and monitoring system to determine water entering the boundaries of the system, water being delivered out of the system and the energy used to move it from start to finish. It also allows the project developer to ensure that the project boundaries do not change significantly over the course of the project. In situations were multiple schemes are being upgraded, the project developer must monitor each scheme separately and calculate the emissions reductions for each separately. The project boundary will extend from the point from the point of water intake to the system in question, including all pumping stations (major pumping station if the project boundary is the last one) to the delivery point from the system in question. Supplemental pumps, booster stations and other sources of power consumption are included. It to be noted that pumps not metered or covered by the water utility, as in bulk supplier, will be included in the project boundary only if they are (1) subject to the project implementation and (2) exclusive to the defined water system. Project boundary in terms of gases and sources is CO2 from electricity generation. • Map of the system covered • All inflows • Outflows • The size of all of the major pipelines.

12. BASELINE A typical carbon emissions baseline is established by multiplying the pre-project efficiency ratio with the total post-project water volume delivered and the carbon emission factor. • emissions in the baseline scenario in year (kg CO² /yr) • Total post-project water volume delivered in year (m³/y) • Pre-project efficiency ratio (kWh/m³) • Carbon emission factor for the electricity grid in year (kg CO² /kWh/y) • Total amount of electricity required to move water (kWhb) in the baseline period • Total volume of water (m³) pumped in the baseline period

13. OPERATING MARGIN EMISSION FACTORS • Simple OM, or • Simple adjusted OM, or • Dispatch Data Analysis OM, or • Average OM.

14. EMISSION REDUCTIONS Annual emission reductions (ER) based on, • Baseline emissions • Project emissions

15. MONITORING METHODOLOGY The monitoring methodology requires monitoring of the following: • Water from the entire scheme entering in the water system post-project will need to be metered and the total numbers adjusted accordingly to make sure that increases in water supply from new scheme are not counted. • Energy in the form of kWh required to move the water within the boundaries of the system. • Carbon content of the electricity employed by the water system calculated using the combined margin approach outlined in ACM002.
